Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The radio plays songs from someone else
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
